As the Australian Libraries and Archives Copyright Coalition (@TheALACC) said on Public Domain Day: a healthy and robust Public Domain needs libraries and archives so this is exciting news. #PublicDomain #CC0

We’re celebrating World Braille Day by highlighting the Queensland Braille Writing Association also known as @BrailleHouseAU For over 126 years, they’ve built a significant and unique collection of Braille and tactile materials including writing machines and other tools.

Happy New Year and happy #PublicDomainDay! 🎉 We totally agree with the Australian Digital Alliance: the #PublicDomain treasure trove is at the heart of Australia's identity and we need to preserve and protect it! digital.org.au/happy-public-d… #PublicDomainDay2024 #Copyright
